Vin Scully

The voice of the Dodgers says he'll be back in the booth next season, then decide whether to retire. Scully, 81, who's been with the team since 1950, still calls all nine innings of Dodgers' TV broadcasts, with the first three simulcast on radio.

Va'Shaundya O'Neal filed for legal separation with intent to divorce the Cavs' center Monday in Los Angeles. She's seeking spousal and child support, and custody of the couple's four children. Shaq's salary is $21 million.

Curt Flood

History - not just memorabilia - will be auctioned by the estate of the Cardinal who paved the way for free agency. A Gold Glove, a World Series ring and an autographed copy of the 1972 Supreme Court report on Flood vs. Bowie Kuhn are on the block.

Michael Phelps

Sporting a beard and an old-style swimsuit, the winner of 14 Olympic gold medals finished third in the 100-meter medley at a World Cup short-course meet in Stockholm. Most other swimmers wore the high-tech suits that will be banned next year.

The retired tennis champion should "give his money and his Grand Slam titles" back, according to Marat Safin, who will retire after this week's Paris Masters. He is steamed because Agassi admitted in his autobiography he took crystal meth and lied about it.

The winner of six majors and Ryder Cup captain has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. Faldo, now an analyst for CBS, won three Masters and three British Opens, and spent 98 weeks as the world's top-ranked player.
